Kim Do-Gyun (김두균) is the main guitarist of the rock band “Baekdusan” (백두산). In the 80’s, together with Boohwal (부활) and Sinawe (시나위), they are the biggest and the most hard core rock band in Korea. This is also the reason the three gutarists from the three bands were also called the best guitarists in Korea.

From 1985 to 1987 he remained in the band “Baekdusan” before he left for UK. The band got together again for a while in 1992 to release a best album, before they went back their separate ways.

The band got together again last year in 2009, when they released their 4th album titled “Return of the King.”

The band consist of Kim Do-Gyun himself on guitar, Yoo Hyun-Sang as vocalist, Park Chan playing the drum, and Kyung Ho-Jin playing bass.

Next, the youngest smong the three “Gods”, Sin Dae-Chul (산대철). The front-man in heavy metal band “Sinawe” (시나위). They debuted earlier than Boohwal in 1985, in fact, they scouted Boohwal’s former vocalist Kim Jong-Seo into the band.

The story of Sinawe is not much different than Boohwal, having changed their vocalist almost as often. Aside from Kim Jong-Seo, Lim Jae-Bom andKim Bada were also former vocalists of Sinawe.

The current vocalist is Kang Han, with Lee Kyung-Han playing bass and Lee Dong-Yeop playing the drum.

Boohwal and Baekdusan, supported by several other rock bands held a free concert to raise donation for the family of the navy officers who died in the vessel last March. The vessel was suspied to have sunk because of a torpedo shot by North Korea, and the issue is currently still under investigation.

I’ll stay out of politics just for the sake of my blog, and on the right hand side is the concert poster. I’ll edit with pictures if I can get one from free source. (meaning doesn’t belong to an individual)

The concert was today, starting 6 pm, in Hongdae’s Rolling Hall.

Baekdoosan and Boohal came out last (I don’t know who came out first), each band performed 5 songs for the audience.
